Are there schools that don't teach calculator usage? Even 10-15 years ago German schools (at least in the states I looked at) had the option to teach math with either basic calculators, scientific calculators, or computer algebra systems in grades 9-13 (I think) with most schools picking scientific calculators even back then. I would expect that to have moved into earlier grades and more advanced devices nowadays.

I meam, i remember even in 5th grade nearly 20 years ago them telling us "you wont always have a calculator in your pocket" and this was happening when vell phones were becoming mainstream enough that some of us did have flip phones

I don't carry a calculator in my pocket, just a device that has access to the sum of all human knowledge.

And a calculator.
